The county is gearing up to open more early voting locations this week, including mackey arena on wednesday.

I thought it went very, very well.

I am so pleased because in the past we've had issues with our e-poll books checking people in, and we've not had that.

Now, when we go to other places, we might run into the internet issues.

Roush says the election board is using a mifi device at mackey.

That's to safely transfer the large amount of voting data from purdue's campus.
